CALL FOR PAPERS

GENDER IN THE EUROPEAN TOWN: MEDIEVAL TO MODERN

UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN DENMARK, ODENSE,

22-25 MAY 2013

As places which fostered and disseminated key social, economic,
political and cultural developments, historically towns have been
central to the creation of gendered identities and the transmission of
ideas across local, national and transnational boundaries. The Gender 
in
the European Town Network invites proposals for papers of 20 minutes,
completed panels (3 papers, chair and commentator), and poster 
sessions.

The Conference will be organised in three main strands. We encourage
papers that address one of the strands, or proposals that cross the
theme boundaries. They should also explore what influence gender has on
the shape of towns themselves, as a force for change. We welcome local
studies as well as more comparative approaches and encourage
historiographical, theoretical and empirical considerations.

_KEYNOTE SPEAKERS_

 Professor Elisabeth Cohen, York University, Toronto, Canada

 Professor Rachel Fuchs, Arizona State University, USA

 Professor Hannu Salmi, University of Turku, Finland

 Professor Pamela Sharpe, Hobart University, Tasmania, Australia

 Professor Amanda Vickery, Queen Mary, University of London, UK

_POLITICAL CULTURE AND CIVIC IDENTITY_

We want to discuss how civic identity and citizenship were negotiated
and used in the urban space and how these were established and
institutionalized. Proposals could include:

·  Gendered civic identity in different periods of time

·  Gender and different sites of political actions

·  Political culture and political actions

·  Religion as politics

·  Relations between local civic identity and national political
development

 Intersectional discussions of how changing social conditions 
interacted
with gender and citizenship

_SPACE PLACE ENVIRONMENT__: __RETHINKING SPACE___

The role of gender in shaping, and being shaped by, space and place,
particularly in the urban environment, provides historians and cultural
geographers with the opportunity to look afresh at the changing nature
of the town and its inhabitants over time. Proposals could include:

·  Historiography of spatial studies

·  Gendered urban environment in historical process

·  Meanings of space

·  Urban places as gendered meaning makers

 New directions in the study gendered urban space

_STRETCHING THE URBAN ECONOMY___

The aim of this strand is to explore the influence of gender on the
economic shape of towns and the ways in which men and women articulated
their relationship to the urban economy. We encourage papers that
stretch the traditional idea of economy by exploring different types of
markets and nexus. Proposals could include:

·  Workplace organisation / relationships

·  Consumption and production interfaces

·  Networks (urban rural links, family businesses …)

·  Cosmopolitanism in economic systems

·  Influence of econo-political debates

 Gendered illicit economy

Proposals of 200 words for papers or posters should be submitted to
geneton AT sdu.dk [1] by 26 October 2012. For further information and
submission details see: www.sdu.dk/geneton [2].
